Problem wth MIUI :(

Hello all , i have a big problem with every MIUI ROM from 1.7.x to 1.8x :/ , sometimes when i am listening to music and unlock my screen , some things immediately stop working.Music wont play , its shown that the song is played but its not , sometimes just force closes , Lockscreen doesnt work , 4-Way Reboot Mod doesnt work , Calling People also doesnt work , i am on MIUI 1.8.5 v.3: by MrGarark , did a full wipe before flashing , just restored my SMS/MMS/Contacts with MyBackUp. Any Help ?

Hi there,
I have been using MIUI ROMs since right back at the start of 1.7xx series and so far I haven't experienced any of the problems you've identified?
As a suggestion...I would try doing another full wipe and re-installation and see if the problems persist.
Cheers,
Jaybo

I've had a lot of problems restoring SMS/MMS/Contacts through titanium backup when moving to new roms. I recently installed MIUI and kept getting constant FC's after restoring my SMS/MMS/Contacts, so it could be a similar issue with MyBackUp?
Maybe try a full wipe, reinstall then test everything before restoring any backups.

Try Honey3D sense 3.0, everything's working, battery life is awesome, it's been 2 days since I charged my phone and I am still left with 20%. European ROMs rock, Chinese ROMs suck based on my experience.

MIUI has better battery life than Honey3D, a lot better, I know this from personal experience. Besides, Honey3D has been discontinued so its pointless if its not going to receive any updates in the future.
Anyway, back to the OP...
I am having no issues at all with 1.8.5 v3 but I was having similar problems to you when flashing 1.7.29 last week, it was fine until I restored my settings, contacts, etc, that's when it started with the problems

I'd wipe all the caches, dalvik included and then reinstall the rom followed by a permission fix. Good luck and don't give up.

Try not to stick with one ROM.. try different Roms. Evaluate which ones better suits you. I think it's very biased to say which Rom is the best. It all depends on personal use how ya use. Some devices may not handle the same way as others.
I have used MIUI . It's very fast ROM. But still have alot of bugs because its beta version not stable. version. Secondly I don't like it's iPhone look.
But it's good to post your query under Rom development so other users and developer read it.
Nonetheless I don't have good experience with battery life either. Again it all depends on different devices.

Restoring data over different roms is not recommended, especially when changing from sense to aosp rom due to different system architecture.
For those who are upgrading from 1.7.x to 1.8.x, as stated above, simple cache and dalvik cache wipe is enough. But due to some users experiencing problems in upgrading, simply back up the data using miui backup app, and restore it over fresh installed rom.

I had a similar problem, what I found was when restoring b/u from MIUI backup that's when everything went wrong. I did a wipe and factory reset then loaded MIUI, I then reverted to my Titanium b/u and have had no more problems. I think for me the problem was the miui backup causing all the forced errors.

Latest/ best current Ginger Mod for A953?

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.

As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)

Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.

after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !

Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.

Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.

exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++

So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?

Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.
CU,

O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?

MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.

[Q] Need better rom and help with supercharging. required in room - 720p, stable.

right now i'm using the quarx nightly for my defy+. my problem with it is that it doesnt seem to be very stable. lots of errors that ask me if i want to wait or force stop, lots of launcher redraws (thats why i want the supercharger thing working). I was very excited to install JB/ICS and experiencing the holo UI, but i dont really need it. i actually miss Go launcher, and probably will use it with what ever ROM i decide to flash next.
some details - got latest quarx nighly, JB, on my MB526. find it somewhat buggy.

Try fixing permissions.
Im going to assume you wiped data and didn't restore app data using titanium backup.

I wiped data, don't know what is the app data you're talking about, and as I didn't used the previous ROM in it's rooted era (it was rooted for mere minutes before I installed quarx), didn't have use for titanium backup at all.
About permissions, em, what permissions? of? what do I change about them? how? is there a ROM that comes with that to begin with? I used quarx for little more than 2 days, I really prefer just installing better ROM, if such thing exists (I get the impression quarx is quite popular).

Use CM7.2 maniac nightlys and install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990921.
Looks great and the rom is very fast and stable
Link for the Rom: https://github.com/maniac103/android_device_motorola_jordan-common/downloads
(Use cm-7-20121107-UNOFFICIAL-jordan-signed.zip for normal defy and jordan plus for defy +)
You should know how to flash a froyo sbf because downgrading from CM10 to CM7 is very buggy.

Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.

[Q] Google Play Services for custom rom

After Trying many Custom roms i found that in only hyperion latest build google play services works no other rom allows it After doing a lot of search in google and xda i found out a reason for .It occurs due to signing of apps by kitchen or by removing there odex part or by editing there signature. The solution i found out was flashing gapps to remove edited gapps and then doing data cache and dalvik cache wipe but and updating apps from market it will get automatically installed but this method didnt work for me. And many more method were tried by me but non worked for me please help me out i want to sign in in youtube in latest version

I had same problem. But few days earlier, I tried mobgenie software on desktop to install the google play service on my samsung galaxy y with hyperion rom. Amazingly it worked. Better use latest google play service (.apk file).
Hope this process will work on any android device with custom rom.

will work on any stock based rom
you just have to wipe data and then mount system and flash the zip
you dont need to install the rom again as you are wiping data
if you dont wipe data it will bootloop

My device is comprised of the api 22 sdk and moverio sdk. Is there any way to get around the issue of my "custom, stock rom" not being compatable with the installer?

is there a way to instantly backup and restore data when flashing new rom.?

Hello guys
I am using custom rom whose developer recommends clean update every time and sometimes I just like to flash new roms to try them out.
Is there a way to restore my apps without downloading them from play store every single time? Without bugs ofc.
I am using only 7.1.1 android if it helps

It does not offer flashable zip restoration but,
While in one rom just backup your apps , contacts using super backup.it will create a directory in root and save your apps,message etc.
Just install super backup apk after installing new rom. If you have not wiped entire internal memory you can restore apps,contacts, messages . Search for pro version in onhax , you can try and buy if you are happy with app.
